I practice QDM on the land I hunt.I try to shoot a doe every chance I get. For one there are way too many of them and I like seeing large bucks! If you dont practice that even on public land you wont get quality bucks! Public land its hard to get people to do that but eventually other hunters will catch on. For first timers and youth anything goes I believe. This year I shot 3 does cause I never got a shot on the type of buck I wanted. I still got to kill deer and have alot of venison for my family. Mabey my chance at a nice buck will be next season.
